What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic : the art, science and philosophy of detecting and correcting vertebral subluxationChiropractic leverages the master control system in your body, the nervous system. The nervous system controls all other body systems, such as the digestive and circulatory systems. Subluxations cause interference in your nervous system, distorting the normal transmissions between your brain and body systems. This theory continues with the idea that if the nervous system is interfered with, or facilitated, your body will not function properly.Chiropractors detect and correct vertebral subluxations. A subluxation (sub-lux-a-tion) is defined as a vertebra that is misaligned and/or not moving properly on its disc (the pads between the bones). The misalignment can pinch or choke a spinal nerve which affects the messages traveling over the nerves. Chiropractors perform adjustments to correct subluxations. The adjustment may be performed by hand or using an instrument. The adjustment removes the interference by repositioning the vertebra and restoring normal movement on the disc. Adjustments help to restore the body's natural healing power and help the body function normally and naturally. Chiropractic is based on the law of human biology that our bodies are self-healing and self-regulating. At Spinal Health Care Center, we do not prescribe drugs or perform surgical procedures though we can refer to disciplines that do.
